There is always a bias - that's what happens when the news is not a loss leader and is instead a for-profit enterprise

Just read EVERYTHING with a grain of salt

1. RT has been running some pretty harsh stories/documentaries about U.S. shenanigans.
But I would consider them more informative than as propaganda. Our Imperial ass is hanging out, and they're trying to do us a favor by saying so.

5. Yep
I have found they do a better job reporting on the US than any US based newsorg
And at times better than the beeb or CBC

2. Whatever! When the US Government starts...
Edited on Thu Apr-21-11 03:41 PM by SkyDaddy7
dictating what can be covered & what can't be & punishing violators with kidnappings, imprisonment, torture & death...Then you can start to make that argument!

I watch RT & Press TV along with Al Jazeera & other foreign media almost everyday via Live Station Multi-view & RT & Press TV are BIAS BIG time...And I am not just talking about against America they tell lies & spread misinformation!

I will believe Al Jazeera & even the BBC over Press TV & RT ANYDAY!

And ANY news organization that has Alex Jones on as a regular guest is worthless in my opinion!

4. Not all of their reports are inaccurate
Sure, when they're talking about Iran its good to be skeptical

But that's not all the report on
